Current mood:
stoked
The members of PENNYWISE have announced that Zoli Teglas, front man for OC hardcore/punk band IGNITE will be filling in on vocals during the band’s set on the 2009 Smokeout Festival at the San Manuel Amphitheatre in San Bernadino, CA October 24th, as they begin their search for a new singer.The two day Smokeout Festival will take place on October 23 and 24 and marks the seminal Hermosa Beach punk band’s first major show since Pennywise singer Jim Lindberg and the band parted ways last month after 19 years together.
Pennywise will be playing on a lineup that includes such acts as Slipknot, Deftones, Cypress Hill, Kottonmouth Kings, Bad Brains, Method Man/Red Man, a recently reunited Sublime (performing with their new singer, Rome) and many more.
As a former tour mate and a longtime friend and fan, Pennywise’s Fletcher Dragge says Teglas is a natural choice to help the band out during this transitional period. Dragge explains, "As everybody knows, Jim has left the band and we're looking for a new singer. For the time being our friend Zoli has agreed to fill in for Jim for a couple shows to avoid having to cancel them while we look for a permanent replacement."
Teglas is looking forward to playing with Pennywise and their hometown So Cal fans adding, “I'm stoked to be singing these upcoming shows with Pennywise. I'm a huge fan of the band and am super grateful to share the stage with my long time friends Fletcher, Byron, and Randy. “

10 of 15MoreAs sad as I was to see Jim go, I can't be more excited about Zoli filling in for this show. *STOKED*
The first thing I thought was...they should quit. No one can fill these shoes. I've thought for days and I still can't think of anyone BUT you that SHOULD do, or DESERVES this chance more than you. I think you should stay. I vote you do both. ...I'm in two bands!
Good luck Zoli, I hope that I will be able to see PW and Ignite in Sweden.
De jó lenne, ha Magyarországon is fellépne úgy a Pennywise, hogy Te énekelsz Zoli!
come to boston! the cali hippies dont deserve this!
Whoa!!! Jim Lindberg quit? I mean, I don't like anything after 1995, but DAMN! he was their sound! Anyway, I want a new Ignite album.
..the elements of two of the my fav punk bands together.........wish I was in the states........All the best, Zoli!!!!!....Respect from Portugal..
Great singer singing with a great band.It will be interesting to say the least. It is gonna sound strange somewhat with someone else singing the songs Jimmy's voice is tied to. I wish my South Bay brothers all the best and I know Fletch will choose the right person for the job. When Jimmy was first picked way back when alot of people in the South Bay though what are they doing but Jimmy was great and proved he was the man for the job. P.W. will carry on!
Unbelievable! What in the world could be better than Pennywise songs with Zoli's voice!!! Please record and publish!!!!
Ahhh I love it!
